This explains why the cost of Unviersal CDs has dropped at Tower.  I
couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the drop in price.  I felt humbled, had
I not always preached that prices never drop? And yet here the price had
dropped.  Now I know why the price had dropped.  It is a desperate attempt
to lure customers back into the store.  I don't think I am exaggerating
when I say that Tower may only have a year to live.  When this bill comes
due, Tower had better be able to pay it back.

I don't have the disdain for Tower that some listmembers seem to have.
I still shop from brick and mortar stores and Tower still has the best
CM selection for where I live.  I would rather see Tower have lay offs
and close some branches then completely go under.  I think that they may
need to return to the old days where Tower runs fewer branches in major
metropolitan areas.  Of course I live near a Metropolitan area so I would
think that.
